1. Overview
Spatial Point Pattern Analysis is the evaluation of the pattern or distribution, of a set of points on a surface. The point can be location of:
- events such as crime, traffic accident and disease onset, or
- business services (coffee and fastfood outlets) or facilities such as childcare and eldercare.
Using appropriate functions of spatstat, this hands-on exercise aims to discover the spatial point processes of childecare centres in Singapore.
The specific questions we would like to answer are as follows:
- are the childcare centres in Singapore randomly distributed throughout the country?
- if the answer is not, then the next logical question is where are the locations with higher concentration of childcare centres?
2. The data
To provide answers to the questions above, three data sets will be used. They are:
CHILDCARE, a point feature data providing both location and attribute information of childcare centres. It was downloaded from Data.gov.sg and is in geojson format.MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL, a polygon feature data providing information of URA 2014 Master Plan Planning Subzone boundary data. It is in ESRI shapefile format. This data set was also downloaded from Data.gov.sg.CostalOutline, a polygon feature data showing the national boundary of Singapore. It is provided by SLA and is in ESRI shapefile format.
3. Installing and Loading the R packages
In this hands-on exercise, five R packages will be used, they are:
sf, a relatively new R package specially designed to import, manage and process vector-based geospatial data in R.spatstat, which has a wide range of useful functions for point pattern analysis. In this hands-on exercise, it will be used to perform 1st- and 2nd-order spatial point patterns analysis and derive kernel density estimation (KDE) layer.rasterwhich reads, writes, manipulates, analyses and model of gridded spatial data (i.e. raster). In this hands-on exercise, it will be used to convert image output generate by spatstat into raster format.maptoolswhich provides a set of tools for manipulating geographic data. In this hands-on exercise, we mainly use it to convert Spatial objects into ppp format of spatstat.tmapwhich provides functions for plotting cartographic quality static point patterns maps or interactive maps by using leaflet API.
Use the code chunk below to install and launch the five R packages.
4. Spatial Data Wrangling
4.1 Importing the spatial data
In this section, st_read() of sf package will be used to import these three geospatial data sets into R.

DIY: If necessary, changing the referencing system to Singapore national projected coordinate system.
sg_sf <- st_transform(sg_sf, crs = 3414)
mpsz_sf <- st_transform(mpsz_sf, crs = 3414)4.2 Mapping the geospatial data sets
After checking the referencing system of each geospatial data data frame, it is also useful for us to plot a map to show their spatial patterns.
DIY: Using the mapping methods we learned in Hands-on Exercise 3, prepare a map as shown below.
tmap_mode('plot')
tm_shape(mpsz_sf) +
tm_polygons() +
tm_shape(childcare_sf) +
tm_dots(size = 0.3)
Notice that all the geospatial layers are within the same map extend. This shows that their referencing system and coordinate values are referred to similar spatial context. This is very important in any geospatial analysis.
Alternatively, we can also prepare a pin map by using the code chunk below.
tmap_mode('view')
tm_shape(childcare_sf) +
tm_dots()tmap_mode('plot')Notice that at the interactive mode, tmap is using leaflet for R API. The advantage of this interactive pin map is it allows us to navigate and zoom around the map freely. We can also query the information of each simple feature (i.e. the point) by clicking of them. Last but not least, we can also change the background of the internet map layer. Currently, three internet map layers are provided. They are: ESRI.WorldGrayCanvas, OpenStreetMap, and ESRI.WorldTopoMap. The default is ESRI.WorldGrayCanvas.
Reminder
Always remember to switch back to plot mode after the interactive map. This is because, each interactive mode will consume a connection. We should also avoid displaying eccessive numbers of interactive maps (i.e. not more than 10) in one RMarkdown document when publish on Netlify.
5. Geospatial Data wrangling
Although simple feature data frame is gaining popularity again sp’s Spatial* classes, there are, however, many geospatial analysis packages require the input geospatial data in sp’s Spatial* classes. In this section, we will learn how to convert simple feature data frame to sp’s Spatial* class.
5.1 Converting sf data frames to sp’s Spatial* class
The code chunk below uses as_Spatial() of sf package to convert the three geospatial data from simple feature data frame to sp’s Spatial* class.
childcare <- as_Spatial(childcare_sf)
mpsz <- as_Spatial(mpsz_sf)
sg <- as_Spatial(sg_sf)DIY: Using appropriate function, display the information of these three Spatial classes as shown below.

spatstat requires the analytical data in ppp object form. There is no direct way to convert a Spatial classes into ppp object. We need to convert the Spatial classes into Spatial object first.
The codes chunk below converts the Spatial* classes into generic sp objects.
childcare_sp <- as(childcare, "SpatialPoints")
sg_sp <- as(sg, "SpatialPolygons")Next, we should display the sp objects properties as shown below.
childcare_spclass : SpatialPoints

The generic sp object, which is a Spatial object, does not inherently include a data frame of attributes. It seems to only include spatial coordinates and CRS information.
Spatial classes include a data frame with attributes associated with each spatial feature
5.3 Converting the generic sp format into spatstat’s ppp format
Now, we will use as.ppp() function of spatstat to convert the spatial data into spatstat’s ppp object format.
childcare_ppp <- as.ppp(childcare_sf)
childcare_pppMarked planar point pattern: 1545 points
marks are of storage type 'character'
window: rectangle = [11203.01, 45404.24] x [25667.6, 49300.88] unitsNow, let us plot childcare_ppp and examine the different.
plot(childcare_ppp)
We can take a quick look at the summary statistics of the newly created ppp object by using the code chunk below.
summary(childcare_ppp)Marked planar point pattern: 1545 points
Average intensity 1.91145e-06 points per square unit
Coordinates are given to 11 decimal places
marks are of type 'character'

(34200 x 23630 units)
Window area = 808287000 square unitsNotice the warning message about duplicates. In spatial point patterns analysis an issue of significant is the presence of duplicates. The statistical methodology used for spatial point patterns processes is based largely on the assumption that process are simple, that is, that the points cannot be coincident.
5.4 Handling duplicated points
We can check the duplication in a ppp object by using the code chunk below.
any(duplicated(childcare_ppp))[1] FALSETo count the number of co-incidence point, we will use the multiplicity() function as shown in the code chunk below.
multiplicity(childcare_ppp) [1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

sum(multiplicity(childcare_ppp) > 1)[1] 0The output shows that there are 0 duplicated point events.
To view the locations of these duplicate point events, we will plot childcare data by using the code chunk below.
tmap_mode('view')
tm_shape(childcare) +
tm_dots(alpha=0.4,
size=0.05)There are three ways to overcome this problem. The easiest way is to delete the duplicates. But, that will also mean that some useful point events will be lost.
The second solution is use jittering, which will add a small perturbation to the duplicate points so that they do not occupy the exact same space.
The third solution is to make each point “unique” and then attach the duplicates of the points to the patterns as marks, as attributes of the points. Then we would need analytical techniques that take into account these marks.
The code chunk below implements the jittering approach.
childcare_ppp_jit <- rjitter(childcare_ppp,
retry=TRUE,
nsim=1,
drop=TRUE)DIY: Using the method we learned in previous section, check if any dusplicated point in this geospatial data.

When analysing spatial point patterns, it is a good practice to confine the analysis with a geographical area like Singapore boundary. In spatstat, an object called owin is specially designed to represent this polygonal region.
The code chunk below is used to covert sg SpatialPolygon object into owin object of spatstat.
sg_owin <- as.owin(sg_sf)The ouput object can be displayed by using plot() function
plot(sg_owin)
and summary() function of Base R.

5.6.1 Extracting study area
The code chunk below will be used to extract the target planning areas.
pg <- mpsz_sf %>%
filter(PLN_AREA_N == "PUNGGOL")
tm <- mpsz_sf %>%
filter(PLN_AREA_N == "TAMPINES")
ck <- mpsz_sf %>%

plot(pg, main = "Ponggol")
plot(tm, main = "Tampines")
plot(ck, main = "Choa Chu Kang")
plot(jw, main = "Jurong West")
5.6.2 Creating owin object
Now, we will convert these sf objects into owin objects that is required by spatstat.
pg_owin = as.owin(pg)
tm_owin = as.owin(tm)
ck_owin = as.owin(ck)
jw_owin = as.owin(jw)5.6.3 Combining childcare points and the study area
By using the code chunk below, we are able to extract childcare that is within the specific region to do our analysis later on.
childcare_pg_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[pg_owin]
childcare_tm_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[tm_owin]
childcare_ck_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[ck_owin]
childcare_jw_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[jw_owin]Next, rescale.ppp() function is used to trasnform the unit of measurement from metre to kilometre.
childcare_pg_ppp.km = rescale.ppp(childcare_pg_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_tm_ppp.km = rescale.ppp(childcare_tm_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_ck_ppp.km = rescale.ppp(childcare_ck_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_jw_ppp.km = rescale.ppp(childcare_jw_ppp, 1000, "km")The code chunk below is used to plot these four study areas and the locations of the childcare centres.
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(childcare_pg_ppp.km, main="Punggol")

6. Second-order Spatial Point Patterns Analysis
7. Analysing Spatial Point Process Using G-Function
The G function measures the distribution of the distances from an arbitrary event to its nearest event. In this section, we will learn how to compute G-function estimation by using Gest() of spatstat package. We will also learn how to perform monta carlo simulation test using envelope() of spatstat package.
7.1 Choa Chu Kang planning area
7.1.1 Computing G-function estimation
The code chunk below is used to compute G-function using Gest() of spatat package.
G_CK = Gest(childcare_ck_ppp, correction = "border")
plot(G_CK, xlim=c(0,500))
7.1.2 Performing Complete Spatial Randomness Test
To confirm the observed spatial patterns above, a hypothesis test will be conducted. The hypothesis and test are as follows:
Ho = The distribution of childcare services at Choa Chu Kang are randomly distributed.
H1= The distribution of childcare services at Choa Chu Kang are not randomly distributed.
The null hypothesis will be rejected if p-value is smaller than alpha value of 0.001.
